2016 Presidential Breakfast and Discussion

In this course, Professor Schiller will discuss the candidates for president in the 2016 election. She will assess each potential candidate’s strengths and weaknesses in the context of the party convention and platform, personality, organization, and fundraising. She will explain the strategies that candidates will have to employ to win key states and ensure turnout among their own party’s base, as well as independent voters, in order to win the the general election.

Professor Schiller will also place the 2016 election in historic, demographic, and political context as it compares to the 2000, 2008, and 2012 elections. How has the electorate changed in terms of age, gender, income, education and race? What are the key issues likely to be in this election that are the same or different from prior elections? How will social media change the fundamentals of campaigning? Professor Schiller will also cover the ways in which the congressional elections for the U.S. House and U.S. Senate will interact with the presidential elections.
